He should just name it Language.

What was the fine they had to pay in the U.S. over a patent that was found invalid? $600,000,000 or so wasn't it? That couldn't possibly have acted to slow them down and screw them up in their biggest market now could it? Not to mention the money and effort wasted there not available for actual work.

Document formats. If you change suppliers later can you use all the files you created or are they locked in to your current supplier? Also are you dictating that those you send documents use the same software to read it that you used to create it thereby as government giving a defacto monopoly to your supplier?

apply it to a suspected terrorist with a dirty bomb.

So close yet so far. The word suspected is part of the key. Remember the guy who was accused by the government of having a "dirty bomb" plot? Arrested, held for years without trial or charge and then charged with something else as there was no dirty bomb plot. Killing based on suspicion alone and without due process is unconstitutional.

The prior poster was referring to the fictional Librarian of the Unseen University in Ankh Mor-pork on the Discworld in novels written by Terry Pratchett. People don't criticize him as he tends to rip off their arms and or head.

The difference is that if you have a peanut allergy your doctor will readily diagnose it. People who have caffeine problems mostly end up finding out that they do by accident after years (or decades in my case) of misdiagnosis by doctors.

Not for everyone. For some people (like myself) the problems caffeine cause are subtle and work in combination with other things. With caffeine in my system I'm allergic to perfume, cigar and pipe smoke and sunburn in 15 to 20 minutes. Caffeine alone does nothing obvious but add any of the other things and my health goes to hell with the appearance that it is the 2nd thing causing it alone. Only by accident did I learn of the caffeine connection and solve my lifelong health problems.

Lets talk Darl McBride into buying it then he can sue Microsoft. ;)

Search google for linux on ipad and you get 177 million hits. So I'd say people are doing so as the first links are to youtube videos of booting Linux on the Ipad

As I recall it you were close. Basic was in the ROM but BASICA (Advanced Basic) added to it and ran under DOS.

Key words: accused of.

Actually he admits his guilt. He wanted to be tried and punished in the UK in proportion to his crimes. The prosecution wants to punish him in proportion to the amount spent doing a security audit and putting in place security that should have been there in the first place. They also want his time (the rest of his life) in maximum security with physically dangerous people in a U.S. prison.

Do they have a monopoly? No? Then they don't face a monopolies restrictions.

Not quite. Microsoft used its existing Windows monopoly to create a browser monopoly and in that they convicted themselves. How is Google using its search monopoly to create a mobile monopoly? How does Google Search push Android and exclude competitors? Showing competitors lower down the page isn't the same as not showing competitors.

I guess you didn't realize this amazingly advanced logic but as a christian, compared to muslims, one of us is correct and one is not.

You missed something. You might BOTH be wrong.

The only person who can truly promote "tolerance" is one who thinks we're both wrong and that's atheists,

Agnostics are better suited to that role as they already realize that they don't know which of the many options is true. Atheists are sure that they know. If they weren't sure they would be Agnostic.

Strangely enough Christians were once considered to be Atheists as they worshiped no visible god.

I believe his joke whoooshed over your head. By computer voting I believe he meant the COMPUTER was the voter not just a mechanism for a human to vote with.
